The Gallery faces a great deal of tough competition, many of which are cheaper and this relatively low value proposition represents the most limiting element of the Gallery series. For $500, any number of excellent speakers are available from a large number of manufacturers and most will do a better job in music reproduction. This system would be fine for someone wanted a nice 5.1 only system but the façade crumbles pretty quickly for audio purists looking for a dual music and home theater rig. This setup would be perfect for listeners that are interested only in movies and mostly at high volume in a medium sized room or smaller, but the price needs to come down considerably to be in direct competition with its peers.
